The Alpha Delta Nu Honor Society was established by the Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (OADN) to recognize academic excellence and promote scholarship within the nursing profession. It is the only honor society dedicated exclusively to students pursuing an Associate Degree in Nursing.
The Eta Eta Chapter at Maine College of Health Professions was founded in 2019. Each chapter may establish additional requirements and specific timelines for provisional membership beyond the national standards.
To be considered for provisional membership, students must meet the following minimum criteria:
- Earn a grade of “B” or higher in each nursing course
- Have no prior failures in any nursing course
Students who meet these standards after completing at least one semester of nursing coursework will be invited to provisional membership. Full membership is granted in the final semester, provided the student:
- Maintains a grade of “B” or higher in all courses
- Consistently demonstrates integrity and professionalism in both classroom and clinical settings
Membership in Alpha Delta Nu reflects a commitment to excellence and upholding the values of the nursing profession.
